The anticipation surrounding the opening day of Star Wars Celebration Japan extended beyond just movies, television series, and collectibles. This year, gamers also had their share of thrilling revelations, particularly with the unveiling of the trailer for A Pirates Fortune, the highly awaited second downloadable content (DLC) story pack for Ubisofts action-adventure game, Star Wars Outlaws.

The trailer sets the stage with Kay Vess, the games titular character and an aspiring smuggler known for her cunning and charm, unceremoniously landing behind bars in a jail cell. While this may appear to be a rough start for her adventure, it is often said that great journeys and epic tales begin in the most unexpected of locations.

In a twist of fate, Kay soon finds herself forging an alliance with a notorious pirate named Hondo Ohnaka, who humorously reveals that he is currently between crews. Together, they embark on a daring questto unearth a mysterious treasure hidden deep within an ancient tomb located in the Khepi system. However, this treasure hunt is not without its challenges; they must first face off against the formidable Stinger Tash and her ruthless band known as the Rokana Raiders.

According to Ubisofts official website, A Pirates Fortune promises much more than a captivating new storyline featuring Kay. It also introduces a plethora of cosmetic items inspired by the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew. Players will not only engage in the campaign but will also receive a series of updates that include exclusive items. These consist of a unique outfit for Kays sidekick, Nix, a special trophy to enhance Kay's speeder, and a trinket designed for both her speeder and her ship, known as the Trailblazer. As players navigate through this adventurous journey, they can earn various new rewards by undertaking perilous smuggling missions across the galaxy through a network called the Miyuki Trade League.

In a notable addition to the announcement regarding Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirates Fortune, Ubisoft revealed the games release date for the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. While it will not be included in the initial launch lineup set for June 5, the game is slated to make its debut on the console on September 4.

For those who may have missed out on playing the game on platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC, there is still much to look forward to. Gamers on other consoles can anticipate the arrival of A Pirates Fortune on May 15, ensuring that they too can immerse themselves in this action-packed universe.

In a review by io9, the publication praised Outlaws, noting, Outlaws sets a great standard for Star Wars games to play with, and in true scoundrel style, it does so with a little bit of endearing bluster. A cheeky wink and winging it can get you far on the galaxys edge, after all. This sentiment resonates strongly with fans who appreciate both the charm of the franchise and the thrill of new adventures that await them.
